Abstract [sv]

Inhumana och kaosartade situationer inom äldreomsorgen har framträtt i dagspressen under de senaste drygt tio åren främst vid två tillfällen: Caremaskandalen som blev en mediaskandal 2011 och vid covid-19-utbrottet år 2020. Äldreomsorgen vara trygg och säker, av god kvalitet och utifrån den äldres behov (Socialdepartementet 2020). Det finns ett statsvetenskapligt problem i skillnaden mellan det som speglas i medierna och de rättigheter som policyskapare hävdar att de äldre ska ha. Författaren vill med denna uppsats undersöka vilka värderingar som uttrycks i Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet de två aktuella perioderna och hur kan de förstås utifrån de två teoretiska ansatserna New Public Management och tillitsbaserad styrning samt om det finns en skillnad mellan de två perioderna, avseende vilka värderingar som dagspressen ger uttryck för. Artiklarna undersöks kvalitativt med kvanitativa inslag med en metod för tematisk analys. Slutsatserna visar att det främst uttrycks misstro, som riktar sig åt olika håll: mot institutionerna, äldreboendenas organisation och mot omsorgspersonalen. Detta är långt ifrån den tillitsbaserade styrning som Tillitsdelegationen förespråkar, där tillit är den motivation som skapas när beslut delegeras till lokal nivå (Bringselius 2018:135).

Abstract [en]

Inhuman and chaotic situations in elderly care have been described in daily newspapers during the last ten years particularly on two occasions: the Carema-scandal on 2011 and during the breakout of the covid-19 on 2020. Elderly care needs to be safe and secure, of good quality and adapted to the needs of the elderly (Socialdepartementet 2020). A problem within the sphere of political science is expressed in the discrepancy between the narrate of the media and the rights of the elderly as stated by the policy makers. The author of this essay examines which values are depicted in Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet during the two periods and how they may be understood from the two theoretical approaches New Public Management and trustbased governance and if there is a difference between the two periods, regarding the values that the daily press is expressing. The articles are examined qualitatively with a quantitative element using thematic analysis as method. The conclusions show that mainly expressions of distrust in various directions are found: towards the institutions and the organisation of the elderly care as well as towards the caregivers. This is far from the trustbased governance that is advocated by Tillitsdelegationen, where trust is the motivation created as decisions are delegated to local level (Bringselius 2018:135).
